<p class="p1"><span style="font-size: 14px;">Last week on September 4, Golgotha Baptist Church, an NAB church near Tacoma, Washington, was devastated by a fire. According to the pastor of the church, Pavel Sandu, the building was “totally destroyed.” According to The New Tribune, an arsonist allegedly told local police authorities that he “broke into the church and gathered paper, plastic, and a picture frame and set them ablaze<b>,"</b>&nbsp;in what became a three-alarm fire that razed the building.</span></p>

<p class="p1"><span style="font-size:14px;">The fall NAB Leadership Teleconference will be on Thursday, November 7, 2013 at 10:00 a.m. (PST). Our next book for discussion will be The Leadership Game: Winning Principles from Eight National Champions by Tom Mullins and John Maxwell (Thomas Nelson, 2005). Tom Mullins is a winning coach who helps leaders understand how to build and keep together a team of any kind. This book does an incredible job of sharing tried and true techniques that will help you achieve team goals.

<p><strong><span style="font-size:18px;">Everyday Church Initiative</span></strong></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14px;">The North American Baptist Conference wants to invite your church to join an exciting journey of missional engagement in the upcoming year with a host of other NAB churches. In 2012, Tim Chester and Steve Timmis wrote a book based upon 1 Peter that is a great tool for helping your congregation learn to live life and serve others at the margins. The writing is theologically sound and very practical. To accompany this book, usable resources have been created for churches across Canada and the U.S.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14px;">Our hope is that NAB churches will use this book as a discussion tool with church leaders, and then use the book and materials to guide a preaching series in the fall.</span></p><p><a href="http://www.nabconference.org/news/nab-update-february-5-2012" target="_blank">read more</a></p>http://www.nabconference.org/news/nab-update-february-5-2012#commentsNABUpdateTue, 05 Feb 2013 17:27:05 +0000Marius1535 at http://www.nabconference.orgNAB UPDATE - January 18, 2012http://www.nabconference.org/news/nab-update-january-18-2012
<p><span style="font-size: 14px;">Dear Ministry Friends,</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span style="font-size:14px;">For years, NAB has been training church leaders in Russia. God is at work in Russia, drawing people to Himself, and has been gracious to use our efforts to bring theological and ministry education to the next generation of leaders in Russian churches in the Rostov area. With the success of that ministry, we have been asked to transition our leadership development efforts to another area of Russia.&nbsp; With nine time zones—Russia recently merged time zones from eleven to nine—moving to another ministry area in Russia is almost like moving to another nation. This is exciting ministry. NAB is grateful to God for new open doors and wanted to let you know about these changes so you can pray passionately for our new opportunities.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-size: 14px;">The North American Baptists have a missionary heart for people around the world. This update will focus your attention on three recent missions related interactions.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:16px;"><strong>Russia</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14px;">In late November and early December, Dr. Rob McCleland and Tony Dunaway invested their time and talents in training leaders in two Russian cities—Kharbarovsk and Vladivostok. These cities in the Russian Far East—not far from the Chinese and North Korea borders—are major population centers with over 500,000 people living in each. Having spent years assisting in training pastors in Rostov, Russia, church leaders in the far eastern region of Russia have welcomed NAB’s leadership development and Biblical training with open and gracious arms.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14px;">Dr. McCleland says this about our Russia Ministry:</span></p><p><a href="http://www.nabconference.org/news/nab-update-december-6-2012" target="_blank">read more</a></p>http://www.nabconference.org/news/nab-update-december-6-2012#commentsNABUpdateThu, 06 Dec 2012 17:28:53 +0000Marius1515 at http://www.nabconference.orgNAB UPDATE - November 13, 2012http://www.nabconference.org/news/nab-update-november-13-2012

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p class="p1"><span style="font-size:14px;">As the board gathered for our first meeting of the current triennium it was great to welcome new members to the Executive Committee (although we do lament the moving on of the others!). With a new member-at-large nominee appointed by the General Council we are now at full compliment. Here are your officers and Executive Committee members for the next 3 years: Bev Smith, Randy Jaspers, Gary Asbach and George Ridley – Members-at-Large; Jackie Loewer – Treasurer; Steve Newman – Vice Moderator; Bernie Kamutzki – Past Moderator; Bob Fast – Moderator and Rob McCleland your Executive Director and CEO.</span></p>

<p><strong><span style="font-size:24px;">Greetings from the NAB International Office!</span></strong></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14px;">I am guessing the focus for many of us has already shifted to fall ministries… cooler weather… pumpkin spice latte’s… audit... well, maybe not the audit, but that is the reality for some of us.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14px;">Audit season has arrived yet again for NAB staff! September 1st launched us into a brand new financial year, but unfortunately the transition does not just happen that quickly. The coming weeks will be focused on year-end closing procedures, including final gift posting, expense processing, reconciling accounts, and assembling unbelievable amounts of documents for the auditors. For the first time in over eight years we have a new audit firm, so this year will be more time intensive as we bring the new auditors “up to speed” on NAB and our operations.</span></p><p><a href="http://www.nabconference.org/news/nab-update-september-10-2012-0" target="_blank">read more</a></p>http://www.nabconference.org/news/nab-update-september-10-2012-0#commentsNABUpdateTue, 11 Sep 2012 02:02:44 +0000Marius1499 at http://www.nabconference.org
